The usage of Kratom is quickly spreading across the nation and other countries. Unlike previous substances such as “bath salts” or “mollies” Kratom is 100% natural. There is no adding of synthetic materials to this substance. Though it is able to grow naturally many people are torn as to whether this plant should remain legal in the United States, this is because Kratom has both positive negative effects.

Positive Effects

One of the main positive effects of this substance is its ability to reduce or alleviate pain. For centuries different cultures, such as tribes in the Southeast Asian regions, have been using Kratom as a pain reliever. The naturally growing plant is able to relieve aches with the help of alkaloids. Alkaloids are a compound that is found within Kratom. These compounds interact with the cell receptors in the body causing soothing effects that lead to a reduction in pain.

Not only does this plant have physical pain relieving possibilities, it is also able to relieve mental anguish. Kratom has been proven to have a strong effect on your anxiety and mood. This plant is able to lower your anxiety level and exchange it with feelings of happiness within five to ten minutes after consuming a dosage. The anxiety reliever has been known to last for several hours after a single dose.

If you have ever had a day where you just wanted to be lazy and lay around perhaps Kratom can help. According to reports this substance can help to boost your energy level and also put you in a mindset to do work. The stimulant capabilities of this substance also allow people to become friendlier, talkative, and even sociable.

Kratom has been known to also produce a feeling of euphoria. Some individuals that consume or smoke this substance have noted to having a comfortable pleasure feeling. A dosage of Kratom may cause individuals to enter into a dreamy state which causes them to look and feel calm.

Negative Effects

Like other organic substances, using Kratom may cause negative effects. After a dosage of the organic plant, people may begin to feel nauseated; this uncomfortable feeling can easily subsided by the person laying down for a couple of minutes.

Not all negative effects associated with Kratom can be cured by just simply laying down. Other effects may last for minutes or even hours at a time. Some individuals may find that they have become victims of adverse effects of this plant. These adverse effects include: vomiting, respiratory depression, tremors, delusions, hallucinations, paranoia, itching, or even sweating. Perhaps individuals that take a higher dosage of the substance may subject themselves to these particular adverse affects.

At low levels this substance has been noted to provide benefits that include a boost of energy, a decrease in anxiety, and a relief of pain. At higher levels, this drug produces negative effects such as hallucinations or vomiting.

The addicting effects of these drugs have yet to be determined. Some researchers have stated that the plant is addictive while others state that Kratom does not have any physical addicting affects.
